Gushee is Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics and Director of the Center for Theology and Public Life at Mercer University. Widely regarded as one of the leading moral voices in American Christianity, he is the author or editor of 21 books and hundreds of articles. We observe how easy it is for many people to come to a point where the moralistic sexual ethic from church youth group isn’t sufficient and respond by abandoning all our sexual boundaries. So, how do we build a sexual ethic that has a Scriptural basis and is consistent with our religious values? The response doesn’t have to be chaos, it can be human flourishing.
